Let’s celebrate together! This 4th of July we are asking you to celebrate with us by decorating your front porches and homes. Unleash your creativity and bring a smile to your friends and neighbors.

​A map with the locations of all our registered porches will be available, so you can plan a walk or drive around your neighborhood to see the beautifully decorated porches and share in the celebration. You will also be able to vote for your favorite!

​Businesses we want to include you too!

Step 1: Register your display! 

​Registration is FREE! Just fill out the form below.
  • Registrants will be added to our Porch Parade Map.
  • The first 50 Porches in the Florence Area that register will receive a 4th of July Porch Parade lawn sign that will magically appear in your lawn.
